He continued to research issues of concern to cancer patients, while pursuing his Master’s in Public Health.

During this time, he was responsible for developing strategies for assessing health economic and patient-reported outcomes for multiple early and late phase oncology compounds. Most recently, he has continued this work as a Director in Oncology in the Global Evidence and Value Development group at Sanofi, Inc.
